Language, country, currency, and time-zone are loaded using the Localization feature of the PrestaShop 1.6 administrator dashboard.
NOTE: PrestaShop 1.6 text used in the interface of the application is translated by PrestaShop. However, any text created or added by the PrestaShop user will need to be translated. For instance, the text used to describe a product will not change if the default language setting in PrestaShop is changed.
- In your PrestaShop admin panel go to Localization -> Localization section:
- Find the Configuration section. In the Default language section, from the drop-down menu choose your default language (it depends on the language packs that you have loaded):
- Go to Localization -> Languages, disable all languages except the one you want to become the default one. Enable them again, clear the browser cache and check your website:
- Repeat the same actions to select the default Country and default Currency values:
[notice type=”warning”]Note: the Language and Currency values depend on the localization packs that you have imported. The default country drop-down menu will list all of the countries, but the language and currency options will only be available if you have imported the localization pack.
Confirm the action by clicking Save button. Refresh the page to see the changes.
